Cheap flights from Lublin to New York

May is the cheapest month on this route, and a comfortable time to cross the Atlantic before the summer rush. Fares show up across September, October, November, December, February, March, May and July, so scan the calendar instead of guessing. Winter departures in December and February are quiet, but snow on either side of the ocean can delay you. Late spring and early autumn give a good mix of weather and availability. Midweek flights, on a Tuesday or Wednesday, usually cost less than weekend ones. Book a few months ahead for summer and the holidays, when seats from Poland to the States fill quickly.

Two carriers serve this route: LOT Polish Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines. Both are full-service, so a checked bag, a meal and a seat assignment usually come with the ticket instead of being added at checkout, which matters on a long-haul connection. Neither airline flies Lublin to New York non-stop, so every itinerary is built from two legs with a change in between. The difference is mostly in where you change and how long you wait, so compare layover times as carefully as the fare. A short first leg followed by a long wait can turn the trip into a very long day.

New York is served by three airports, and your ticket decides which one you land at. Newark Liberty International sits in New Jersey, across the Hudson, and reaches Manhattan by train or bus in a journey that can stretch with traffic. John F Kennedy is out in Queens, the usual pick for long-haul arrivals, with rail links and shuttle buses into the city. La Guardia is closest to midtown but handles mostly domestic traffic, so it rarely appears on a route from Poland. Whichever you use, allow plenty of time on arrival: immigration at Kennedy and Newark can be slow, and the drive into Manhattan depends entirely on the hour.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Lublin has a single airport, so confirm you are booking from Lublin rather than a different Polish city.
• Both airlines are full-service, but check what your specific fare includes before you pay.
• Every itinerary involves a connection, so make sure the change is on one ticket and your bags are checked through.
• Check that your passport is valid for the whole trip and that you meet the current entry rules for the United States.
• May is the cheapest month, so compare it against the winter and autumn dates before you decide.
• Watch the layover length, because a low fare with a very long wait is rarely worth it.
